NRZ Confirms Loss Of 51 Coaches In Station Fire

The National Railways of Zimbabwe has confirmed that a total of 51 decommissioned coaches were destroyed in a fire that broke out at the Bulawayo main station on Monday afternoon.

In an interview with Sunday News on Tuesday, NRZ Public Relations Manager Andrew Kunambura said that the value of the damage and the cause of the fire has yet to be determined. He said:

A total of 51 decommissioned passenger coaches were burnt by the fire which broke out on Monday around 1.30 PM.

The value of the burnt coaches is yet to be ascertained but since they were decommissioned, what it means is that we can only ascertain their disposable value as scrap.

We, together with the police and Fire Brigade, are still investigating the possible cause of the fire and we will update once the investigations are done.

Kunambura said the coaches had been decommissioned years ago after exceeding their lifespan and were awaiting disposal as scrap.

Those coaches were a haven for vagabonds and dangerous criminals, I used to see them cooking inside plus in between the coaches was overgrown grass and shrubs that was ignored over the years.

guys probably stripped what they could from the coaches, then sold what they could strip from the coaches for cash, then started a fire

we don't cry over scrap, these should have been disposed of a long time ago, since metal does loose value after burning I guess the price of these coaches is still roughly the same.maybe this is also God's way of saying NRZ should by new ones.

These coaches could have been renovated to ferry commuters in urban centres and those suburban communities eg khami mguza Cowdray Park etc

Public transportation should not be a profit making entity nekuti people pay taxes, Ana Vat on groceries and ma surcharge on building materials sales tax, and fares are just enough for realisation of proceeds

Nrz should give all burnt coaches to sanator tshabangu to repair and sell them to purchase a new home in Ashdownpark
